Edgy: (Adjective) Daringly innovative or provocative; on the cutting edge.

Zac Efron, who is basically like the David Cassidy of Generation Stupid (only gayer) says he is ready to move on from his squeaky clean, teen idol persona. He tells OK! Magazine:

"I want to do something dark or a comedy. There's tons of icons that I would love to work with on something new and exciting."

That all sounds fantastic on paper, but problem is that those dark and edgy roles don't usually go to actors whose biggest asset are their eyelashes. But you know, I think I heard recently that a big screen adaptation of Candy Land is in the works -- perhaps Lord Licorice could be his gritty breakthrough role? Ahhh, who the fuck am I kidding? He and Vanessa Hudgens were born to play the Candy Kids.
